A national women's group endorsed Rep. Donna Edwards' campaign for Senate on Tuesday as the two Democratic candidates are working to appeal to female voters.

The National Women's Political Caucus said in a statement that Edwards, of Prince George's County, has an "impeccable record on women's rights and a strong track record for effective leadership."

The group is the latest national women's organization to back Edwards. Her opponent for the Democratic nomination, Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Montgomery County, has by contrast received the backing of several prominent female lawmakers in the state.
